Mid Life Crossing - Guest Stays to Swim Channel

Our guest Greig Gjerdalen has patiently waited a whole week for the weather to improve so that he can join his fellow swimmer Rod Craig in his Channel crossing mission!

They have been friends since the age of 6, growing up in North Vancouver together and are now members of the Hairy Gerome Masters Swimming Club.

Greig booked into the hotel a week ago and has been waiting for the perfect conditions to play his role as support swimmer and brave the cold English sea tomorrow, nicknaming their journey the "Mid Life Crossing". The pair have made the decision to swim the English Channel in a bid to motivate and inspire others.

Our team at the Holiday Inn Express, Folkestone would like to wish them all the best on their quest to Calais!
